What is in q2 Hardy Weinberg equilibrium?
Correct answer: B. Frequency of the recessive allele
- A. Frequency of the dominant allele
- B. Frequency of the recessive allele
- C. Frequency of both alleles
- D. Number of both alleles
Explanation
p2+2pq+q2= 1 represents the Hardy-Weinberg principle; where p is the dominant allele,q is the recessive allele.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.

There existed two varieties of female freshwater Mollusks in which some were streamlined and some had a high bulge. Over the generations, male freshwater Mollusks learned that high bulge favors more production of offspring. So they started preferring to mate with females having high bulge as compared to streamlined. Will this affect Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium in the population?
